Satin Lace Garter Belt

What is it about garter belts that are so alluring, especially in an age when pantyhose are perfectly capable of covering a woman’s legs in nylons? It’s not as if anyone really needs garters anymore to hold up her stockings, yet garter belts remain a part of our lingerie collection.

Satin Lace Garter Belt Appeal

Satin is smooth and lace is frilly; put the two together and they’re made for lingerie. You’ll find many garter belts featuring one or both of these fabrics and it’s easy to see why they’re so popular.

Some garter belts are simply made, but others are more elaborate. Although they all perform the function of holding up thigh-high stockings, they’re made today more for form over function. There’s something very retro and old-fashioned about wearing them. Instead of simply pulling on pantyhose, a woman has to slip into a garter belt and take the time to attach her stockings, which in itself can be a very seductive act.

Because garter belts are made to be appealing, they’re pretty pieces of lingerie. They’re delicate, but also strong enough to withstand daily wear if you prefer them over pantyhose. You can find garter belts in a wide range of colors and styles, so matching them to your bras and panties isn’t difficult. If you’re especially interested in making sure your entire lingerie ensemble matches perfectly, buy your garter belt as part of a set.

How to Wear It

Although most women wear their garter belts when they’re trying to dress for a romantic rendezvous, some women like wearing them during the day, when going to work or out running errands. Garter belts work best under skirts and dresses that have a little room in them; if you wear them under a tight skirt, the garters might show through the fabric.

When wearing them for a special evening, you can wear your satin lace garter belt with an assortment of other lingerie, including:

• Baby dolls
• Chemises
• Teddies
• Corsets

The main thing to keep in mind when wearing this sexy item for your special someone is that you’re making an effort to look seductive. Many men can’t resist a woman who takes the time to wear lingerie that’s purely decorative, so take full advantage of how you look and feel confident that you look amazing.

You can find garter belts to match your particular style, so take your time to shop and choose what appeals to you.
